Oil large baking sheet and set aside. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap to prevent drying.) Brush with melted butter.

Fold in short ends of dough, then fold in long sides, overlapping at center. Brush with butter to seal. Carefully transfer strudel to prepared baking sheet. Brush top with butter.
